For me, Moll Flanders is a very complex novel for many reasons. Among them, I would pay special attention to its closely similitude with Don Quixote. Both of them are regarded as personal confessions and as a sort of autobiography which is, in essence, a lie. In Moll Flanders, the heroine tries to excuse her wrong deeds, stating somehow the famous refrain: the aim justifies the means. That is to say, she counts her story after becoming rich, in order to make the audience think the reward is better than the price she had to paid in life, that of being a prostitute).

I think the Defoe's 'Moll Flanders' is a brilliant place to start looking at the origins of the English Novel. I realise that there is a great deal of repetition in it, but I do believe that it is very good. All the way through it we see a charachter struggle with life, herself and morality. <br><br>Very good in my opinion, and well worth the read!
